The variety was developed in the Czech Republic in the 1960s and has become popular for wine growing in colder climates, especially in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden. The grapes are small to medium-sized, blue-violet, and ripen early – often already in August–September in southern Sweden. They have a sweet and aromatic taste, perfect for both fresh consumption and the production of robust red wines with deep color and fruity character. The skins are thin and the grape has high color intensity, which makes it especially valued by winemakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCultivation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Rondo' is one of the hardiest varieties, able to withstand down to about -25°C.

Prune in early spring according to traditional trellis or guyot methods to promote fruit setting. For the best harvest, thin the clusters lightly during summer. Resistant to many common diseases.
